DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:The Rise of China and the Global Production of Scientific Knowledge” with T
 ianrui Mu\n\n\nAbstract:\nScientific progress is more important than ever i
 n tackling many challenges the world faces. Recently, the momentum for new 
 developments has shifted eastward, in particular as China has dramatically 
 expanded its research capacity and scientific output. Today, China trails o
 nly the US as the world’s leading producer of high-quality scientific resea
 rch. In this paper, we study how the rapid ascent of China as a new researc
 h power has affected worldwide production of scientific knowledge, focusing
  on the evolution of scientific publications at world-leading universities 
 during 1996-2016 and exploiting patterns of research collaborations between
  institutions. We find that as China’s research capacity expands, universit
 ies that have stronger historical links to China collaborate substantially 
 more with China and also produce more scientific output in general, relativ
 e to those with weaker links. These effects are heterogeneous across resear
 ch fields and also across the quality of research publications. We explore 
 the role of resource augmentation and knowledge spillover in explaining the
 se findings.\n
